when he was in virginia. he talked about the defense cuts, they're so, that's what direct mail is for. that's not for your candidate to do that. that's what surprised me a little bit. is that romney went and i think what the krauthammer critique is getting at. it's not that it's just small ball by the campaign. tactically you should do some of these things in certain states. but the candidate himself amplifying it and making it your entire message of that day just seemed a missed opportunity. >> i don't agree with krauthammer in this respect. i mean first of all, he's my favorite columnist in the world but in this particular sense, i think it underestimates just what a good candidate barack obama is and how ruthlessly disciplined and capable his campaign is. i mean remember this is a guy who was a state senator in illinois. four years before he beat like a drum, the best political machine the democratic party has seen since lbj, namely the clinton machine. as a challenger, he won by you know, 7%, 8%, he's got

let's start in virginia. tim kaine venturing into uncharted territory on wednesday or thursday in his debate when he was asked about the 37% comment. take a listen. >> i would be open to a proposal that would have some minimum tax for everyone. but i do insist many of the 47% that governor romney was going after pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than he does. >> sometimes big ideas get tested on a smaller scale. tim kaine's words, will they fly for the voters in the long run in the commonwealth? >> i think virginia more than any other state than any other is more tied to what happens in the presidential race. i think it's much easier to a kaine/romney voter than an allen obama report. right now a move virginia towards obama. i think he can sort of seize on those class statements on that 47%, but he is still going to have to -- both of them need to win independents in this state that has probably changed over the last few election cycles more than any other. i think this one stays very close unt

on the tax question i pose this question in the senate, in the virginia senate debate between tim cain and george allen. they were talking about whether there should be a minimum federal income tax. this is how tim kane answered the question. >> do you believe everyone in virginia should pay something in federal incox tax. >> would you be open to that, governor? >> maybe, the first i'm hearing about it. should everybody have skin in the game? >> well, that's where i was going. i think we go to this question of taxes, tax cuts, tax increases and so forth. too fast. we, it seems to me the first question ought to be, what is it we want government to do and not do? what's the sensible way and fair way to pay for that? i really believe in this notion, just as president does, of common as you and common destiny. that we all have stake in educating our kids. we all have a stake in assuring that this country is well defended. we all have a stake in investing in the infrastructure that creates a platform for economic growth and opportunity. we all have a stake in the american dream. we used to
